Supercharged Slots - The Ultimate Guide - No Man's Sky Waypoint Update NMS Xaine's World 2022 

*IMPORTANT!* Unfortunately I made a mistake in this video; the Shield Lattice blueprint upgrade does not increase from 20% to 50%, it instead increases to 25% as this is an additive stat, not multiplicative.This was an unfortunate oversight on my part, this makes the Shield Lattice far less desirable, I would advise prioritising X-Class Hazard protection in it's place due to these being mostly all-covering and multiplicative, and so their bonuses are worth more.

I haven’t been this excited about slots since my early adolescence

I refer to this guide all the time. Thank you for all your hard work and for being such a great No Mans Sky content creator!

This is immensely helpful, especially with putting the core techs on the slots instead of the upgrade modules.

As of Waypoint, fuel efficiency and expedition power (to let you use fewer ships to get to 5 stars) are now the most useful stats for frigate expeditions. Duration barely matters at all because you only get 5 expeditions per day and they reroll at the same time.

These supercharged slots have made me the Juggernaut of the Calypso galaxy. The Vy'Keen praise me, they compare me to their hero Hurk.

Taking notes...... wait..... multiply by the adjacency along with the supercharged stat on one along with the original....... brain broken.... reset...

I have no idea what I'm prioritizing because this game is superseding college level math classes. I guess that's the issues you have when you jump into a game that's 7 years old. All that being said I am having a lot of fun getting my Explorer on. For me this has been a VR masterpiece and exactly what I was looking for

After years of using the same ship and multi tool, it’s nice to now have a reason to have, and use different tools for different jobs. Nice, in-depth analysis as always Xaine.

Great info, Xaine! This validated what I had figured out on the ship bonuses myself already, although I didn't know the exact math, and certainly didn't know the bit about the sublight amplifier, so huge thanks for that! And this was very useful for the exosuit stuff and the MTs. I've been configuring a "mining" tool vs my combat tools, so this has been fun! I do still have questions about the adjacency of hazard protection, I'll have to check your older videos, because I seem to remember you covering this before.

Thanks, Xaine! That’s some seriously in-depth homework you did there. I can’t wait to jump in and start experimenting with a little “applied science”. Cheers!

This guide was absolutelly excelent, and the image plans in it are a master stroke. Thanks for the good work!

Thanks. This verified a lot of what I was observing from my own experiments. Great summary of how the math works, and good recommendations on what to use and prioritize.

Excellent guide, as always. Thanks Xaine!

Bloody brilliant video man! Thanks so much for all the effort you've out in! 🎉

Fantastic work, super detailed and informative. Thank you!

A little late to this video but I always love your in depth guides. Thanks for all the work you put into these!

Thank you, Xaine. It might take me 27 times of relistening to specific parts, but This is the information All players will need when it comes to getting a Good ship/tool/suit all set up and rocking. TY, TY, TY!

Hugely informative and a massive help, thanks. Now to re-watch it many times or find a supercharged slot for my brain!

I have a lot to learn here, and YOU have a lot to teach. Thank you!

I actually prioritized certain multitools to certain tasks for these reasons. Currently i have an expiration tool that has huge scan and mining boosts, and another for combat with damage boosts. Hoping to use this guide to optimize those boosts!

Hey Xaine, thank you for these helpful tips and recommendations! I'll be looking forward to your insight and opinions for exocraft. On that note, I've been toying around with the exocraft slots myself - I'm really digging the ability to store technology, it's so helpful for messing with the traction upgrades to figure out what I actually want on each vehicle, great quality of life change. Anyway, I haven't looked too deeply into supercharging the exocraft cannons except on the minotaur, mostly because the engine upgrades don't seem to yield noticeable performance boosts, just fuel eco (I could be wrong). The Minotaur cannon can become powerful enough that I'm not sure the stun cannon and laser combo, unless desired for fun reasons, is worth supercharging. As for movement on other exocraft, I've gotten exceptional results from sticking the engine and 2 procedural upgrades in the charged slots, and putting the remaining desired upgrades around the engine or bridging the engine to the next closest charged procedural upgrade. Before I continue, I want to add that I did not find the boost upgrades to be nearly as useful when supercharged, but they remain useful to have installed for acceleration on unfavorable terrain. By excluding only Hi-Slide (for acceleration reasons) from my Nomad, I'm hitting mid-50's across oceans, and somewhere over 100 while airborne on low-atmosphere worlds, I can't tell exactly how fast because of how the game displays exocraft velocity not as true velocity, but speed in the direction the front of the exocraft is facing, and the vehicle tilting upwards probably more than 30°. Exocraft can now move fast enough to, in some cases sooner than others depending on your platform's processing power, outrun the speed of a planet's collision geometry being loaded. For me on PS4, this resulted once in falling to the center of a planet with no ocean, with my coordinates flip-flopping each time I passed the center. On another planet with an ocean, my Nomad fell through, hovered on the subterranean ocean, and loaded me into a cave with a flooded section as the only exit. So um... if you choose to share some of these nuances, please also tell people to use the exocraft's jump button, it should resurface them if they fall below the world geometry. Exocraft are kinda wild now, and I feel much more inclined to use them than I did before the update!

Thanks to that guide I managed to get more value from my techs and upgrades simply by rearranging stuff. A well presented video is way easier to understand. Thank you a video well done.

Awesome guide as always Xaine!! Excellent work!!

You're doing the Atlas's work

Thanks Xaine, this was very helpful. Keep up the great work, much appreciated. 👏

Wonderful video Xaine. I’m freshly back to NMS after about a year absence. I’ve a lot to learn.

Thanks very informative. Just picking up NMS again after many years. Much better than the 2017 era now.

Great guide! I wish MT and Exo weapons showed per-weapon performance stats like ship weapons do. Would make tweaking performance much easier.

Thank you for this video, it really helped me - I'm a new player and it's kind of overwhelming to try to do all of the math for ALL of my equipment, so you saved me a ton of time (especially with my new S class staff!)

Thanks for the comprehensive guide, it was really helpful!

I supercharged the mining beam with three slots on one of my multi tools and it's almost all I use now. It kills things and mines incredibly fast. The only other thing I have on it's the scanner and terrain manipulator.

15minutes of pure information, thanks!

What a great video!!! Thank you!

Great info! Thanks for the incredibly useful video!

As usual awesome guide, thanks dude!

Great job, looks like a lot of work and time spent making the video, thanks for sharing.

Ty this helped me understand wtf was going on with my infra knife, didn't realize fire rate was a multiplicative thing

Awesome video and you really did you're homework, unfortunately maybe I shouldn't have watched this when I just woke up. Definitely need a window licker version this early in the morning.

I have the alien rifle Austintatious found it is awsome. My damage potential has been between 30,000 and 45,000 depending on gun type.

Thanks for this - exactly what I was looking 4

Xaine, i have always thought i was intelligent until i listen to you, and then i feel completely stupid. Thanks for posting your incredibly valuable work. 👏🏻

Not all heros wear capes. Thank you very much for this breakdown!

crazy i did exactly as you recommend but long before your video came out :) I recommend having a spaceship explorer type and using all the spaceship supercharged for the hiperdrive a / b / s modules !

phenomenal guide. thanks

thank you, this was very helpful

I keep coming back to this video, amazing content Xaine! Regarding the neural stimulator mine has the 4 stats you mentioned as priority, not sure if they changed it from 3 recently.

You had my subscription at "Supercharged slots" lol - thank you for cutting right to the chase.

thanks, major thing i learned here is boosting main module actually does something. In-game when you boost a main module like a gun, it doesn't show any stat increases so i assumed it did nothing. now i need to adjust all my stuff on my ships/multitool to try this out

As always, some deep in-depth guidage ( if thats a word ). Thanks Dude. Im sure i have all my stuff set up wrong so now I can go thru and move stuff about and make my saves more ........super ( u see what i did there ?) As for searching for multiple S class multi tool cabinets to find a desired super charged layout, well, ill leave that to the nut cases. I have a kiwi in mind for that. I think any i find will be the only one, since they are hard enough to find in the first place :)

Thank you so much for this, time to play inventory tetris again

This is an amazing video, great work

As always very informative thank you!

Fantastic - this has puzzled me, thank you so much

Man. I’ve been playing this all wrong. Thank you. Now I know why my fights with sentinels are so tough.

Swishadelphia broski! Thanks for the guide man, great stuff

Exemplary work Xaine, awesome level of research and dedication, many thanks.

Cool thanks for the info I had no idea what was going on when I came back

I just noticed for example fidling infra knife with different slots around a supercharged slot makes a huge difference. Also putting the main researched items in the supercharged slots makes a huge difference. And also putting them next to each other is a must.

Awesome description, thanks!

I think this is important but my brain hurts, will have to come back and watch again I think. Thanks for the upload though, tis is something I need to understand but will have to go one by one when it counts. cheers

Damn, I didn't know you can boost the core modules too. Great job

very good video i acualy learnd something

Good info. Thanks.

What an excellent video and good editing. Thanks and keep it up-

Awesome video

Thank you. I only just subscribed to your channel but I have been using your Refining guide for like.... years. (Sorry.)

3 weeks of playing, and this has become useful to me. Minmaxing whee!

Still today, this is a brilliant guide :)

Thanks so much! My weapon damage just went from 13K to 19K! I knew I had too much core health. Didn't know about the cap. Recharge is under a second now. wow. Thanks for all the updates!

This data you have put together is fantastic and very appreciated. Have you explored how these systems interact with multiplayer PVP applications in regard to the MT weapons and ship combat? I've been doing some tests and getting wacky results...

Its not "super long"... this guide is awesome!

Looks like Hunting's back on the menu, boys!

Here by myself I thought I knew I had the right things supercharged and was totally wrong, thx for the help

I just started playing NMS. Liked and subbed, so much good info here! I had no idea that the supercharge slot would link! Look forward to learning more.

I haven't played for a while, this new addition to supercharged slots is just a good thing. Anyway, I really needed some advice on how to use them better, thanks.

This is a perfect guide thank you I have never understood the supercharge thing

Man, I left the game about a year ago after I got the best upgrades and everything for... well, everything. Popped back on a whim tonight and wow, do I have a lot to catch up on and do.

Good stuff!

damn this is the best guide I ever read, we all know the basic and are looking for details and a bit more explanations!

Great guide, thx

Nice !

second time watching... very important info.

Thank you.

braaa my brain 🧠 is on fire 🔥 after this video but its so well done

Excellent

Thank you

LOL, this is where save editors come in handy on PC. I can supercharge literally all of my slots or move them to different locations, which is what I normally do.

Amazing video and research. Would definitely be handy in a sort of cheatsheet.

I dont lnow what u were talking about but it sounded interesting😂

I highly disagree with sprint being desirable on the jetpacks considering that you’re getting sprint from the forbiden technologies. Other than that, thank you for the fantastic video! It surely has and will continue to help a lot of people.

the ifra knife's mod, Q-something, that adds a barrel, adds 2 extra barrels in a soup slot making 4, idk if it's actually adding another projectile but that seems to be (on paper) a great idea..

Very helpful, but I had figure it our mostly. What I prioritized mostly is depending on the superchargd slots layout. If for instance, I have 4 slots one next to another like this is the case for one of my sentinel ship. I will usually take a least 3 just for the weapon system and another one for ship pulse engine, or maneuovrability. Also I tested using the 4 supercharged for Infra knife main module and upgrade, and this is insane, I got like think over 93 000 peak damage... at that rate, you are melting ships in no time! But also, I like putting the pulse engine craftable upgrade, that give your ship manoeuvrability and the ability to slide like a pirate ship, it says... when boosted in supercharged, you ship will respond excessively quick to turn and just be really fun play with, but man this remove all stability to your driving, essentially making your ship a big rallly car on a hard turn drifting and being deported very far from where you originaly planned to be, but can also turn 180 in a heart beat. I knid of like it, you just have to calculate your trajectory according to it, but the worst is when you are accustomed to normal ship and enter a planet atmosphere to land... normal ship, just go straight and you are fine, but with that drifting boosted, make sure to take a long nice decend to the surface because you will hit it lol. It does not make you crash though, just a tiny bit of damage on your shield!

EXCELLENT WORK, but I lack just one info - is there any shape of SC slots thats best? The Cube, The L, the T?

thanks!

Any idea what the value of supercharging the ship's infra-knife Q-resonator is? It says it increases total cannon count to 4, but the DPS shown in the infra-knife does show a doubling of DPS.

Just a heads up, the alien MT has changed from s-class to a-class in a recent update. It also only has one SC slot.

This video really deserves a lot more attention, so please have my like, comment and subscription.

I would love it if they added long quest to get more of these bonus slots just as a time credit and nanite sink. Kind of like how derelict freighters are.

My priority is getting my suit shield strength maxed out. Next will be a combat orientated multi-tool as well as an upgraded minotaur.
